We just need to keep and increase the number of dialogues we're having with our neighbors on life and our government. Apathy is powerful and hopelessness doubly so but we can build a better future working towards solutions with our neighbors.
Capitalist's are pushing the disparity between the haves and the have-nots. We have tools that can reverse that disparity and with it remove the intoxicating push to the far right.
We can only hope the German people vote to reverse the privatization of this service and restore the trains and their infrastructure to something exemplary.
We picked this up at Essen Spiel and had a blast with it. It's also purposefully easy to carry on the go which I thought was novel!
Housing as a speculative investment is a plague on society. I hope countries place regulations and heavy taxes against properties you own but do not live in or utilize personally.
The main comments seem to think Milley WAS commenting on Biden's health after saying he wouldn't and I disagree.
He said Biden read the prep material, was aware of the current issues, and took national security matters very seriously. You could extrapolate that to mean he's mentally well but I don't think that's a necessary conclusion and it's definitely not a direct comment on the president's health.
No one likes how old the president is, but Milley wasn't going against his own words here in the excerpt that I read.
Excited to see more FPS offerings.
Thank you! It feels far more scattered and private than Gencon did but that's okay, I'll give it my best. Much appreciated.
I moved to Germany from the US this year. There is subsidized public transit, universal healthcare, minimum vacation time, a heavy union culture, strong renter-favored laws (although capitalist for profit housing is still an ever growing plague).
As others pointed out, the terminology isn't a great tool for debate without an agree upon definition. But yes, I would move to a country that cared about people over profits.
1 in 8 homes was the last data I saw but it feels every day like a rarity. Some trains, big market stores, and restaurants have it but not to a degree you could count on it.
House flippers are incentivized not to make good, long term, sustainable, or efficient home improvements. Their only incentive is to make a house more sellable upon initial inspection, house flipping is a bad practice I would argue far more often than not.
The problem is housing as an investment like a stock. They should be commodities.
Large Corporate mergers are almost always bad. We should be breaking up companies right now, not letting them combine!
I agree with you here. This meme says "address" climate change like "EVs aren't a perfect solution to climate change" as if that's some big gotcha. They're a meaningful, incremental improvement away from ICE vehicles.
Public transit and bikes are better, but electrifying everything is also a good thing.
